March 2024

The duo reunited on screen for the series A Gentleman in Moscow by Showtime and Paramount+. In the show, McGregor stars as a Russian count named Alexander Rostov, with Winstead playing his love interest, Anna Urbanova.

During the promotion of the show, Winstead shared that the only downside of working with her husband in the role was his mustache. She mentioned on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on March 11 that she initially liked it for a few months, but then the novelty wore off a bit.

McGregor realized that his wife wasn't very enthusiastic about his facial hair. He explained that he had to keep the mustache for over a year due to a Hollywood strike that delayed filming of the show.

During a joint interview, Winstead admitted to McGregor, "I love you with any facial hair." McGregor was touched by her words and responded, "That's so sweet."

Winstead then told Jimmy Fallon that playing McGregor’s “romantic liaison” in the drama was “so much fun” since he is her “actual love.”
